Still A Mystery The earth-jarring explosions of early Tuesday morning re main just as much a mystery as ever forty-eight hours later. The explosions were heard by dozens of Newberry people but inquiry near and far failed to reveal the source of what many thought was an earthquake. There were two of the ex plosions; one coming about 2 in the morning and the other about two* hours later. There were two sharp blasts each time followed by a distinct shaking of the earth. Among wild guesses as to the cause of the blasts was that a Jet plane piercing the super-sonic wall in a power dive, such as happened in California a few weeks back when citizens thought the Rus sians had come with the bomb. If you know anything which might have caused the big noise please report to a news paper or the radio station; somebody’s going c-r-a-z-z-y, unless the mystery is solved!
